About STEAM

Across the nation, the educational trend has been to focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to fill science-related jobs and encourage innovation. But in recent years numerous educators have pushed to add the important the creative thinking component of art/design to the mix, creating STEAM.

Whether it's learning the science of sound through playing musical instruments or perfecting dance moves through physics experimentation, the arts are a crucial tool in innovative thinking.

Chapman Cultural Center isn't simply an advocate for arts in science, but for science itself. Though the facility hosts visual art galleries and performing arts organizations, Chapman also is host to Spartanburg Science Center. This makes us suited to host and sponsor not only area STEAM events but a variety of STEM gatherings as well.
